Feature
RAMS, SPA and job safety checks on the phone
Tie the method statement, the briefing and the daily vehicle check to the job. Stop work when something changes.
The problem
The RAMS is a PDF in a folder. The crew signs a paper sheet, the site changes, and nobody can prove who was briefed on which version. A van with a bad tyre can still leave the yard because the walk-around is a clipboard.
What you get
RAMS and SPA templates
Start from HSA/HSE-aligned templates and tailor them to the actual site, task and crew.
5 × 5 risk matrix
Score likelihood and severity before and after controls, with low, medium and high bands.
Briefing signatures
Each worker signs the briefing with name, time and location.
Gates and vehicle defects
A failed critical item or a vehicle defect blocks the work until someone deals with it.
How it works
Copy the template
Use a system RAMS, SPA, start/end of day or vehicle template.
Tailor it
Change the hazards, controls, permits, PPE and emergency arrangements for the job.
Brief the crew
Complete the record and collect each worker's signature.
Start and review
The job-start gate checks the record. A change flags the job and asks for an amendment.

Questions about this feature
Is the template a certified assessment?
No. The seeded wording is a starting point. A competent person must review it for the actual work.
What is the difference between RAMS and SPA?
RAMS is the task assessment and method statement. SPA is the short daily briefing that confirms the RAMS still fits today's site, task and crew.
Can a worker override the gate?
No. A manager can record an override with a reason, but not for a critical failure, a missing signature or an open significant change.
What happens when a vehicle fails its check?
The vehicle goes out of service, the fleet manager is notified and new work is blocked for anyone assigned to it.

A job loses context every time it changes hands. Here is how one connected record covers the customer, the site, the engineer, the evidence and the invoice — with a walk through the FieldElite demo workspace.
Most of the expense admin is not the approval. It is finding the receipt, reading it and retyping the same totals. OCR removes the retyping, but only if a person still checks the result.
A leak at a managed site becomes a scheduled job, a signed RAMS, photo evidence, an OCR receipt and a paid invoice.
